Glass Doors For Fireplace Remodel with Heat Circulating Fireplace - Project #20255

Customer Comments: I am looking to replace the door/frame. The project is to put rock panels on the wall up to the ceiling and include a step in front of the fireplace, so want to replace the old fireplace door.

Our Comments: Here are some options to consider including doors that fit inside the opening and doors with frames that cover all of the black metal and louvers to create an entirely new look. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, Option #1 and #2 allows for this if you upgrade it to ceramic glass. The others must be burned with the doors open.

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.

We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.

Glass Options

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.

Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
